Culture / Field Trips

Visits to museums and places of local interest form a valuable complement to academic life.

For the younger children, these include visits to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco and the Fernand Léger and/or  Matisse Museums and the Villa Kerylos  on the Côte d'Azur. 

In the Primary School, field trips for Classes 3 to 6 normally take place in the spring and typically include a short stay (3 days) in the French Alps for Classes 3 and 4, whilst Classes 5 and 6 spend a week further afield in Switzerland.  Planning is still in progress for the Primary School field trips in spring 2011.

In the Middle School the field trips are a integral part of our curriculum in trimester 1, and learning is directed towards these trips in all subjects.  These trips are mandatory for all Middle School students and gives students are real learning experience outside of the classroom.

This year, Class 7 wil be visiting Avignon, Carcassonne and Arles, in France, Class 8 will be going to Cortona and Florence in Italy whilst Class 9 will make a cultural visit to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.

In the Secondary School, a field trip linked closely to the curriculum will be planned for Class 10 and a geography expedition for Class 11.
